All the flavors of classic hot spinach dip, transformed into an easy weeknight side dish. This delicious spinach is creamy, cheesy, garlicky, and ready in about 10 minutes.

Spinach dip is a fan favorite, so this side dish is sure to be a winner in your house

I used all the same ingredients in spinach dip – sour cream, mozzarella, parmesan, and garlic – so the dish is rich, satiny, and cheesy. The only different is that we don’t need to bake the spinach before serving!

This spinach dip spinach is so easy to prepare

You need one skillet and a handful of ingredients and you’re ready to serve! The spinach is quickly softened in the skillet, and then simmered with garlic, sour cream, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. Once the cheese melts, the dish is ready! That’s all there is to it!

I used fresh spinach but you can use frozen spinach too. I used a 9-ounce bag of fresh baby spinach leaves for this dish. The leaves were washed and ready to go, so I just opened the bag and added the spinach to the skillet. If you want to use frozen spinach, thaw it completely and drain away as much liquid as you can before cooking.

This spinach is so amazing, you’ll want to spoon it over everything. This spinach dip spinach isn’t just a great side dish, try spooning the creamy spinach over baked chicken, steaks, potatoes, rice, and toasted bread for an amazing, wholesome variation!
